Acid Youth

Acid Youth is an electronic music project started in 2016 by Davide Nicosia, based in Bologna, Italy. The project blends influences from Chicago House, krautrock, and EBM, creating a unique fusion of troubled basslines, guitars, analog distortions, and overdriven drum machines. Acid Youth's sound is characterized by this hybrid approach, combining electronic and analog textures to craft immersive and dynamic tracks. Notable releases from Acid Youth include singles and EPs like "Bitter," "Powerlines / Jaspers Jaded / Pre Roll Burn," and "Acid Tape," showcasing their evolving style and deep engagement with electronic music culture.

There is also a different band named Acid Youth from Ferndale, Michigan, which started in 2021 as a shoegaze/live performance project led by Griffen Jones. However, based on the recent releases you provided and the stylistic clues, the Acid Youth you're referring to aligns more closely with Davide Nicosia's project from Italy.
